Really annoying problem
K, so I went through the touchless carwash the other day, and I put my antenna down as far as it could, because it doesnt go down by itself, so it was sticking out barely at all, but the carwash still managed to bend it to the point I could just break it off if I touched it. But the antenna isnt just bent, the motor for the antenna is pretty ****ed too.
If I turn the radio on, the motor that pulls in the antenna and brings it up, makes a really annoying sound, kinda like a dying elephant. And when I turn my car off, and even take the key out, it thinks its pulling it down, so it makes the dying elephant sound for about a minute.
Does anyone know how to get to the motor for the antenna? And if so anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
EDIT:
Instead of making a new thread, Im having problems with another fing problem. Seems like my gs is falling apart
I was gone for a week, so I leant my car to my brother, who I know drives like a maniac (bad idea). Anyways, something just seems to be wrong with the steering. It feels like when I turn the wheel, the wheels should be turning more then they do. And at times, the steering seems really stiff too. Especialy when Im going faster. And today, I was just listening to my car to see if anything didnt sound right. And there happens to be some scraping noise that seems to be coming from just below the dash, not quite at the tires, but I can feel the vibrations on my feet.
Anymore help would be greatly appreciated

its really easy to get to. its in the trunk behind the driver side inner trim piece. i think there are 2 or 3 nuts holding it in.
i was going to replace mine because the metal mast is broken so it just hums when u turn the car on and the reception is really bad but i cant find one that i want to pay for.

if any1 wants they can have mine just pm me. just pay shipping and its yours, i took mine out and now it just sits here. but you can go to pep boys and buy the mast itself. and to install it you take out the mast (make sure it all comes out) then turn your radio on slip the new one in after the motor stops and turn off your radio while gently pushing down and it will suck it back in
